If its predecessor the SLR McLaren serves as any indication, the latest flagship supercar from Mercedes-Benz – the SLS AMG – stands to breed a long line of derivatives. Before its eventual demise, the SLR was available in coupe and roadster versions, along with the 722 and the Stirling Moss edition, and various combinations between them.

Now the new SLS has already given birth to a speedboat, but like its predecessor (and its iconic Gullwing progenitor) the next variant is expected to come in convertible format. And these patent drawings leaked from the German patent office give us our first look. With an open cockpit, the SLS AMG Roadster promises to be one heck of a ride.
